Herb bread oh my!

After a long hiatus I hauled out my bread machine to bake some bread for dinner with a friend--it was so easy to put all of the ingredients in and just turn the machine on for 4 hours while I buzzed about making lasagna and cleaning house! 

This was a basic, 1.5 lb bread machine recipe with a few modifications: I swapped out one cup of white flour for whole wheat, added a few drops of marjoram essential oil, and snipped in a bunch of fresh rosemary from my garden. 

The result? A really nice, subtle herb bread that was just wonderful for dipping into olive oil that evening and just as good toasted with a bit of butter the next day!

Happy Spring

For the first time in years I have a huge front yard that is ready for whatever I want to plant--total clean slate!

The past year has been full of changes for me but I'm finding that even though I'm experiencing so many changes, I keep finding my happy place in the simplest of things: gardening, cooking, creating. Now I'm busy trying to decide what to plant in my new, cleared out space and it's almost overwhelming! But for sure there will be food and herbs. 

This is a photo of my nectarine tree, a housewarming gift when I moved in. Now each spring I get to delight in the blossoms--and think about how to recreate them out of fabric....

​Happy Spring!

Maybe it's because I'm a February baby, but I just LOVE the first daffodils of spring! I'm in the middle of some home improvement projects that include having the front yard totally cleaned up so that I can plant herbs, add to my budding succulent garden, and get some daffodils in the ground so that by next year I can hopefully see those cheery yellow darlings right popping up in my birthday month. It's quite a project but man do I want to do it BIG this year.
